Curriculum

The primary curriculum used at Campbell Piano Academy is Nancy and Randall Faber’s Piano Adventures™ method. Each set of books is intended to supplement one year of theory, artistry, technique, and performance training. More info on the Piano Adventures™ series can be found here.

Adult beginner students will use an accelerated version of the Piano Adventure series that includes online content for aiding with practice. Additional information can be found here.

Additional method books and supplementary materials may be used, depending on the student’s style of learning. The Dozen A Day series by Edna Mae Burnam is often used with younger students to help develop finger independence and dexterity. Intermediate and early advanced students are often assigned exercises from Charles-Louie Hanon’s The Virtuoso Pianist. Additional solo pieces will be chosen based on the student’s skill and personal interests.
